ARTIST STATEMENT

Tamsin Edwards-Francis is an emerging artist based in Tasmania. She completed her Bachelor of Fine Art (Visual Art) with Honours at the Queensland University of Technology. She works across a range of media including mixed media, collage, drawing, illustration, painting, assemblage, photo media and video. Edwards-Francis' visual arts practice investigates the natural environment in order to understand and describe its unique physical attributes, structures and processes. Through visual documentation and creative practical experiment her work seeks to present a re-interpretation of the natural world through the lens of scientific investigation, abstraction and the hand made qualities of art making.
